1– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Be careful of your duty to Allah with respect to His people as well as His places, for verily you will be answerable even for the places
[you frequented] and the animals. Obey Allah and do not disobey Him.’
[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 167]

4– It has been narrated in Man La Yahzuruhu al-Faqih that a man once came to Imam al-Sadiq (AS) saying, 'I have a neighbour whose slave girls sing and play the lute, and sometimes when I go to the outhouse I take my time there so I may listen to them…? So Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said to him, 'By Allah! Have you not heard the verse of Allah, Mighty and Exalted,
[in the Qur'an], "Verily the hearing and the sight and the heart, each of those shall be answerable for it"?!
